E Ink Demos New Displays, Gadgets At IFA 2011

Posted by Soulskill on Monday September 5, 2011 @06:09PM from the dead-tree-salvation dept.

An anonymous reader writes "E Ink turned up at IFA 2011 with its Triton color e-paper, which has exactly the same properties as the monochrome version found in the Kindle (two-month battery life, no power use when viewing a page, as readable as a sheet of paper) while adding 4,096 colors. We also get to see the E Ink watch, signage, cellphone and USB stick displays, and the latest glass-less e-paper inside a credit card. E Ink hopes to use the new plastic substrate in future e-readers, meaning they will be thinner, lighter, and more shatterproof than those that ship today."

The problem I have with paper is the distracting animation when I flip the page. Or when the wind flips the page... or when doing anything, really. Very annoying indeed.

You forget the obvious alternative; a single long stretch of paper. It could be rolled up to make it portable. Now THAT would be progress!
